Dedicated PvP mode won't fix DZ ganking.
Post Body

tl;dr - DZ will become more toxic than ever with PvP mode

Most of us here have been doing this thing for long enough to know how this is going to go down. It'll be just like every update that we have had thus far... the first 3-5 days in the Dark Zone will be heaven. The drops are good-to-great. Nobody shoots at :19 Sec rogues. The rogues don't run, but they stand and fight. Everyone is working together and running down the street singing Kumbaya. Then we get bored again and return to shooting people in the back.

This time everyone will head to DZ 7 for PvP, but once the newness wears off the real PvP players will stay in DZ 7-9 and the gank squads will come back to the OriginalDZ. Gankers do not like fair fights. Gankers do not stick around and finish what they started if the odds shift out of their favor. Gankers and Farmers will be all that is left in the ODZ because real PvP players will be in a separate mode.

I don't know how to fix this without either a Solo DV or a PvE DZ. Without one of these, I believe the ODZ will become even more toxic than before because the only people left will be PvE Farmers and the people who farm PvE Farmers. Fingers crossed that I am just a jaded and cynical old man, but I feel like I can see where this is headed already.

Properly time "deuces" and a good data connection make this statement irrelevant. :-).
